4 years ago by the Logan Temple...

Today marks the day that McCord proposed to me! 4 years ago McCord took me up to the hill next to the Logan temple over looking Logan city. We had a picnic lunch and he told me over and over how much he loved me. He was so nervous and the ring box got stuck in his pocket as his shaking hand tried to wiggle it out. He told me the sweetest things and asked if I would marry him. Without looking at the ring at all, I said yes and gave him the biggest hug in the world. He started crying and I was started crying. We were so in love and so happy.
Just retelling the story intesifies all the love that we have for each other. We love each other more now than we did that day. Could life get any better than this? It would be pretty hard to beat.

Valentine's Day 2009

For Valentine's Day this year, McCord surprised me by taking me to Red Lobster. We both LOVE seafood and it's one thing that I can not make at home. =) It was so nice to get out, and Red Lobster has some good prices with some of the choices that they have. It was so nice. I surprised McCord with some movie tickets to Persey Jackson and the Lightning Thief. He's been so into reading the books lately and I just knew that he wanted to go to the movie so bad. We went to the movie with our good friends Jeremy and Raine. It was so so much fun! Great movie. Nothing like the books, but a great movie.

The mother of all updates

WE LOVE SALT LAKE!
We've been here for 7 months now and love it here. I love that it's the city and I can go shopping anywhere I want. McCord loves it because he actually has the opportunities that he has always hoped for with his film, school, and career goals. We also love that we can go to Jazz games (we've been to 3) and concerts (we've been to 2) without traveling 2 hours each way to see them. I also love that it is still close to family, just 2 hours away, instead of 3000 miles away (when we were in NY)We really love our life here:
Jazz game Jan 2009


Bucky Covington and Phil Vasser in concert: (boy, I do love Phil)




I through Angie a baby shower on Jan 9th. She's about to pop. She now has pretty much everything that she needs and I'm so glad. Love you sis. So so excited for you.



McCord was called to help with THE CHOSEN film for the LDS film festival as an AD (assistant director). So we went down to Provo for 2 weekends in a row to work on making this short film and seeing it, and many others, priemere. It was so fun. I got to be a grip, and a PA. Pics from the shoot.






McCord's next project is a Cloak and Dagger pilot. Cloak and Dagger are one of our favorite superhero teams ever. We start shooting over spring break. It's gonna be BIG and I hope I can get a lot of pictures to show you in the future. Here's what they look like so you can get an idea.


Christmas 2009:
I never posted about christmas 2 months ago, so it's gonna be short. We didn't do stockings or candy or dvds or anything like that. We got this:

It was a great christmas with family and great food. I didn't take many pictures, but know that it was one of the best. We missed Jared, in the MTC, but it was greaat all around. One of my favorite memories will be Paul and Kandi's (my inlaws) faces when we showed them their new 50" plasma tv that all the kids chipped in to help purchase. It was so great. Also, little Abby wearing my 3 inch pencil high heels:


I was so entertained by this. I don't know why, but isn't she so so cute.

We also never posted about New Years either. So sorry. Normally we don't do much for New Years. But for the 2010 new year we had a lot of fun having a fondue party with the Larsens and the Meikles (Alesa's family).


McCord and I wished that we could light the illegal fireworks from Germany, that are actually legal to light there. We got a whole box full for 6 euros. That was a great New Year. Feel free to look back on my posts to see those pictures.
So even though it is late, Merry Christmas 2009. Hope everyone's christmas and new years were fabulous.
Love,
McCord and Lisa

p.s. Now we get to be excited for Valentines Day. =)

Best day of our lives perhaps?

Could this be the best day of our lives?
#1: "Math? I'd rather stick a pencil in my eye!" - McCord
This cartoon is to tell everyone that McCord GOT AN 89 ON HIS FIRST MATH TEST!! WOO HOO! Let it be published in the next history book. We are screaming from the top of our lungs for this glorious happening. This will be his 4th attempt at Math 1010 (just the word "math" makes his shiver inside) His final grade is based on soley the 3 tests. We both couldn't be happier with this score. What he did miss was just the simple mistake of a negative sign. Everyone send him a text/facebook message to congratulate him.


#2: THE STONE HAS PASSED!

#3: Big surprise for Lisa:
(picture to be posted later)
McCord, yesterday, looked online and found me a Whirlpool washer and dryer, got them in our second level apartment and hooked everything up for me. I had NO CLUE that he was doing this for me. Isn't he the best? It's exactly what I wanted and he found them for cheap, which is great also. I love a good deal. I have the best hubby ever.


Yah! I'm not excited about these babies at all...obviously. ha ha ha

#4: Our new apartment
(video and/or pictures here)
Our new place seem so big to both of us. We are happy to announce that we can walk normally instead of shuffling to the side when we walk. We can sit on the toilet and if we forget to close the door, it doesn't hit our knees (in fact, they have plenty of room). The second room is so nice. We also have a small storage unit and covered parking space. This will be our home for the next 1.5 yrs+.

#5: GROUNDHOG DAY summary
Last night was so much fun! As most of you may already know - groundhog day is HUGE at the Day's house. We came all the way up to Logan for this fabulous occation. The street was lined with cars. My mom makes more food (2 tables full) for groundhog day than she does for christmas. We watched Groundhog Day with Bill Murry and the whole family singing the songs in the show. It's a time honored tradition and this year we had groundhog presents (small kites from the dollar store) - so fun. My dad also annuonced that next year we might be singing groundhog carols. lol It's always so much fun. While I had the chance, I took a picture of me and my cute preggo sister before the baby comes and I miss my chance. She only has about 3 weeks left. =)

So, this may be one of the best days of our lives, it seems like. I'll let you be the judge of that.
